The lowdown, contemplate and
acarrilous attack upon Gov. Taylor,
one OF the most disgraceful episodes
in the political history OF the State,
has pettered out, leaving nothing
behind but q great deal Of bad feel
ing. The Nashville Union having
given sx Oomptoller Gaines as its
authority for the charge that Dol.
williams, Of Knoxville, had said that
the Governor had received 5000 for
the coal oil inspectorship of that
city, that gentleman promptly speaks
for himself in card, in which he says
that while his Impression at the time
was that it referred to an oil inspector
ship, he may have been mistaken.
He says that he had only incidentally
mentioned these rumors without hav-
ing the slightest idt that hia or Col.
Willisms's name would be brought
into disagreeable newspaper publicity.
The onion, referring to this card Of
Col. Gaines, sg in sub stance
that the card WAS not called
for by Dol. Williams, and insists that
Williams must come to the front and
tell whether he gave his authority
or how he got his information about
the dlsgorging $780," as this is new
feature and specific aud direct charge,
But we think this Is going too far, and
that our contemporary ought to be salts
fed with the explicit disclaimers by
Col. Williams OF an intention to charge
the Governor with being guilty Of re.
ceiving brides. The Governor has
come forth from the ordeal with credit
and is proven to be an honest man, q
faithful executive, and so far has been
true to his pledges, to his party, and
10 TIE trusts reposed in him. The
slush OF his traducers has been blown

THE JURY OUT
On the Schwartz watt Murder Case.

CHICAGO, Ill, April ia daily
NeaGS special from Morris, ILL.,, says
The protracted trial Of the brakemen.
Harry Schwartz, and Newton Watt,
for the murder OF Express Messenger
Kellogg Nichols, on a Rock Island
train q year ago, came 10 ain end to-day.
After having been in court twenty-six
days, Sundays not included, and l06
witnesses having been examined, the
case was given to the jury at 4 O'Clock
p. m. The last speech for the prose-
cution occupied most of the day, being
five hours in delivery. Instructions
from the Court we're very numerous,
and required Atty minutes to read. A
recess was taken pending the jury's
decision.
After being out five hours and ten
minutes, one hour OF which was spent
at supper, the iury were ready for a
verdict. Before they had time to ap-
pear before the Judge the courtroom
was filed with spectators, many ladies
being present. A deathly silence
pervaded when the Judge, taking the
verdict, read aloud the words pro-
nouncing Watt and Schwartz guilty
OF the murder and sentencing them
to imprisonment in the penitentiary
for life. The verdict was received BY
the prisoners without q look or action
OF surprise. They were quietly taken
to their cell, and tomorrow their at
torneys will enter q motion for new
trial The motion will doubtless be
overruled. Then notice will be given
Of an appeal, and in all probability q
stay of proceedings, and . hearing In
the upper courts will follow.

The Boston banker, who few years
ago succeeded in swindling 80 many
OF her sex, by offering them 90
per cent. per annum interest on
their deposits has, notwithstanding
her exposure, been able to go into
business In the same city and secure
a large share OF the confidence OF her
former customers. They believed her
to have BEEN prosecuted, and to show
their sympathy, encouraged her again
with their confidence. On this she
has traded successfully, aud succeeded
in securing $4,000, with which she
has decamped, leaving her easily
duped friends to "chew the cud OF
sweet and bitter fancy" Since the
failure OF Grant 4 Ward, no such de-
gree Of gullability hiss been brought to
public notice, nor any similar charac-
ter OF swindle. 1t is almost incredible
in view OF the daily exposures aud
warnings OF the public press, aud
makes one doubt II education, train
iug and experience are, after all, fac.
tors ID sharpening the Wits OF people.

The ignorance Of the average magis-

trated by report elsewhere published
Of q speech by Justice Winters, In
which he deliberately made state
ments as 10 the ability of the county to
meet all it's obligations, including that
about to be incurred for the
Hindmsn's Ferry levee and bridge,
that were subsequently fund to be
wholly untrue. He spoke with so
much earnestness and marshsled his
figures SO convincinRly that the oppo-
nents Of that job were dumb-founded
aud nonplussed. So great and
30 general was the ignorance
OF the magistrates as to the
finances upon which they were ad-
ministering that they made haste to
get warrants for the sums due IN sm,
and only learned how misleading Mr..
Winters speech was when they
found that there was no money in the
treasury TO meet them, and tina! the
back taxes likely to be collected this
year had been anticipated by the

this is the body, 80 densely, dseply

NASHVILLE, TENN, April ly.--By
hard hitting, a number OF inexcusable
errors on the part Of the visiting team,
and some exceptionally fine fielding,
the Nsshvilles yesterday won a ball.
There were probably. 1000 persons scat

Burbridge sounded the bell for the
game to begin. 1t was a regular old
time smuggling contest from beginning

and Firle lifting 1t over the
right field fence for circuit
each. The ou,fielders were kept busy
pulling down flies, while the guardians
OF the inner circle had their hands
warmed several times by hits with
wigs on 'em. Jumbo Taylor, who, by
the way, leoks as If he had fought ten

HIGH LICERsE LAWS.

The telegraph tells US that the lower
house Of the General Assembly OF

to 8, passed high license bill grading
liquor licenses from $500 for VIII
mington down to $500 for village and
country taverns, and limiting drug.
gists to the sale Of liquor on physi-
clans, prescriptions only and to one
sale on each prescription. In the
Senate Of New York also another high
license bill was introduced, which is
intended to cover the objections raised
by Gov. Hill In his recent veto Of the
crosby bill. It divides all saloons
into two clauses, the first class COM
prising places where all kinds Of liq-
uors are sold, and the second where
malt liquors. wines and cider only are
sold. The rates established are as fol-
lows: New York and Brook yD, first
class, $500; second class, 500. Buff
falo, FIRST class, $500; second class. 500.
All other portions OF the State, first
class, $3.50; second class, $50. This
bill will not. II II passes, receive the
signature OF Gov. Hill, because 1t is
partial and discriminstes between
places. A bill making licenses uniform
throughout the State, the first class
$1,000 aud the second $500, would meet
the Governors objections and would
be effective.
